Does Ben Affleck Want Jennifer Garner Back?

Remember how last summer it seemed like every major celebrity couple was breaking up? Since then, some have reconciled, (like Patrick Dempsey and his wife of 17 years, Jillian Fink). Megan Fox and Brian Green announced a post break-up baby is on the way. And some even moved on with each other, e.g., Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton, who found happiness together fresh from their respective divorces. And there might be one reunion to add to the list: If the reports are true, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner—a couple we were beyond devastated to see split—could be headed for a reconciliation.

People is reporting that Ben apparently wants Jen back—and there are signs that point to them working it out. Just one year after announcing their split, the couple still lives together, vacations together, and takes the kids out on weekend excursions together. They've also never officially filed divorce papers. But, reportedly, Jen still needs convincing. "Jen is not ready to take Ben back," says People's source. "Ben has never been good alone and isn't now either. But he is constantly working on himself. He has made big changes."

Of course, the two have been open about their respect for each other post separation. Ben recently opened up to the New York Times about Jen, saying, "Jen's great. She's a great person. We're on great terms." And Jen went into lengthy detail in Vanity Fair, describing Ben as the "love of her life" but was honest that being married to him wasn't always easy. "I didn't marry the big fat movie star; I married him. And I would go back and remake that decision. I ran down the beach to him, and I would again," she said. "You can't have these three babies and so much of what we had. He's the love of my life. What am I going to do about that? He's the most brilliant person in any room, the most charismatic, the most generous. He's just a complicated guy. I always say, When his sun shines on you, you feel it.' But when the sun is shining elsewhere, it's cold. He can cast quite a shadow."

Guess we'll have to wait and see how this all turns out—but we're rooting for them, whatever they decide.
